(𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑐, 𝑑) 𝑖𝑓𝑓 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 ∈ 𝑁 . Show that R is an equivalence
relation.
SOLN- Reflexive: ∀ (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁, (𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑎, 𝑏) ⇒ 𝑎𝑏 = 𝑏𝑎
∴ R is reflexive (1 m)
Symmetric: let (𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑐, 𝑑) ⇒ 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐
⇒ 𝑐𝑏 = 𝑑𝑎 ⇒ (𝑐, 𝑑) 𝑅 (𝑎, 𝑏) ∀ (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁
∴ R is symmetric (1.5 m)

∴ R is transitive ⇒ R is an equivalence relation. (1. 5 m)
2. Check whether the relation R in the set N of natural numbers given by R = {(a, b): a is
divisor of b} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Also determine whether R is an
equivalence relation.
SOLN- Reflexive: ∀ 𝑎 ∈ 𝑁, (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅 ∵ 𝑎 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 ∴ R is reflexive (1 m)
Symmetric: let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ 𝑎 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑏 ⇏ 𝑏 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑎
As (1, 2) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ 1 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 2 ⇏ 2 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 1
⇒ (2, 1) ∉ 𝑅 , ∀ 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑁 ∴ R is not symmetric (1 m)
Transitive: let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ 𝑎 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑏 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ 𝑏 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑐
⇒ 𝑎 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑐 ⇒ (𝑎, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅 ∀ 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐 ∈ 𝑁 ∴ R is transitive (1 m)
∵ R is not symmetric ∴ R is NOT an equivalence relation. (1 m)
